WWE has been consumed recently with the rumours that it has signed four of Japanese wrestling's hottest stars in AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura and tag team Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson. Whilst these rumours are unconfirmed as of yet, if they prove true, then the WWE will have acquired some of the top performers in the world. However, once the fan-fare is over and the stars have settled in, the fans will be looking to the next hottest acquisition and in my opinion TNA's Ethan Carter the Third should be the answer to that question.

Suited to the role... |
EC3 or ,as he previously appeared in WWE's NXT, Derrick Bateman is one of my favourite current stars in North American Wrestling. He currently plies his trade at TNA who have recently moved to Pop TV, and he is one of the mainstays of the main-event scene. He is, as of writing this, the undefeated two-time TNA world heavyweight champion after winning the TNA world title series. He is an excellent technical wrestler and a great physical specimen. He plays the heel character phenomenally and is one of the top reasons people even watch TNA. But why should WWE sign him you ask? Well let me tell you.
EC3 could be an excellent member of the authority. He's charismatic, he has the heel talents already and could easily slot in to the best for business, cheating to win, Ric Flair mixed with Randy Orton type character who is lifted to the title by Triple H and has a fantastic main event feud with, say, a Face Seth Rollins.
In reality it is unlikely that TNA will give up one of their top young main event stars, so EC3 in WWE is unlikely to be seen in a 4 sided ring for a while yet. Until then, lets hope that the 4 new boys can shake up the stagnating WWE scene.
Thanks for reading,
